Resumen <strong>de</strong> investigación<br />

El conocimiento <strong>de</strong> las implicaciones biológicas <strong>de</strong> la<br />

dinámica <strong>de</strong> cuasiespecies víricas, requiere integrar<br />

resultados <strong>de</strong> dinámica poblacional con datos bioquímicos<br />

y estructurales. En este contexto se <strong>de</strong>sarrollan los trabajos<br />

recientes <strong>de</strong> nuestro grupo, empleando los virus <strong>de</strong> la fiebre<br />

aftosa (VFA), <strong>de</strong> la coriomeningitis linfocitaria <strong>de</strong> ratón<br />

(VCML) y <strong>de</strong> la inmuno<strong>de</strong>ficiencia humana (VIH-1).<br />

Varios estudios han documentado el comportamiento <strong>de</strong> las<br />

cuasiespecies como una unidad <strong>de</strong> selección. Así,<br />

genomas minoritarios memoria pue<strong>de</strong>n influir en la<br />

evolución <strong>de</strong>l VIH-1 en pacientes infectados. La acción <strong>de</strong><br />

anticuerpos sobre cuasiespecies reconstruidas <strong>de</strong> VFA, ha<br />

<strong>de</strong>mostrado que se selecciona una distribución <strong>de</strong><br />

mutantes dominada por los componentes <strong>de</strong> mayor eficacia<br />

biológica (fitness). Asímismo, la transición hacia la<br />

catástrofe <strong>de</strong> error <strong>de</strong> VFA y VCML, inducida por<br />

mutagénesis, se asocia a aumentos <strong>de</strong> la complejidad <strong>de</strong><br />

los espectros <strong>de</strong> mutantes. Genomas no infecciosos<br />

(<strong>de</strong>fectores) contribuyen a la extinción <strong>de</strong> virus (<strong>de</strong>fección<br />

letal). Una combinación <strong>de</strong> un agente mutagénico y un<br />

inhibidor antirretroviral permite la extinción <strong>de</strong> VIH-1 <strong>de</strong> alto<br />

fitness, lo que confirma resultados con VFA.<br />

Las bases moleculares <strong>de</strong> las altas tasas <strong>de</strong> mutación se<br />

han abordado con estudios enzimológicos y estructurales<br />

con la RNA polimerasa <strong>de</strong>l VFA, en colaboración con el<br />

grupo <strong>de</strong> la Dra. N. Verdaguer. Se han puesto a punto<br />

ensayos bioquímicos con polimerasa purificada y se ha<br />

resuelto la estructura tridimensional <strong>de</strong> varios complejos <strong>de</strong><br />

la polimerasa con polímeros iniciadores <strong>de</strong> la replicación.<br />

Como aplicación al diagnóstico, hemos <strong>de</strong>sarrollado un<br />

microarray <strong>de</strong> oligonucleótidos que permite diferenciar<br />

variantes antigénicos <strong>de</strong>l VFA.<br />

Research summary<br />

Knowledge of the biological implications of the dynamics of<br />

viral quasispecies necessitates the integration of results on<br />

population dynamics with biochemical and structural data.<br />

This is the basic premise of the work in our laboratory, using<br />

foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), lymphocytic<br />

choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) and human immuno<strong>de</strong>ficiency<br />

virus (HIV-1) as mo<strong>de</strong>l systems.<br />

Several studies have documented the behaviour of viral<br />

quasispecies as a unit of selection. For example, minority,<br />

memory genomes may affect HIV-1 evolution in infected<br />

patients. Antibodies acting on reconstituted FMDV<br />

quasispecies select mutant distributions dominated by the<br />

components with the highest fitness. Likewise, the<br />

mutagenesis-induced transition of FMDV and LCMV into error<br />

catastrophe is associated with increases of mutant spectrum<br />

complexity. Non-infectious genomes (termed <strong>de</strong>fectors) may<br />

contribute to virus extinction (lethal <strong>de</strong>fection). A combination<br />

of a mutagen and an antiretroviral inhibitor can extinguish<br />

high fitness HIV-1, confirming previous results with FMDV.<br />

The molecular bases of high mutation rates have been<br />

approached with enzymological and structural studies with<br />

purified FMDV polymerase, in collaboration with the group of<br />

Dr. N. Verdaguer. We have used a number of biochemical<br />

assays, and have solved the three-dimensional structure of<br />

several polymerase complexes.<br />

As an application to diagnosis, we have <strong>de</strong>veloped an<br />

oligonucleoti<strong>de</strong> microarray that differentiates antigenic<br />

variants of FMDV.<br />

The projects have been carried out in collaboration with Drs.<br />
